TKSS Teachers Day 2020

Can you recall a Teacher who made a difference in your life?

Many of us have encountered at least one or more inspiring teacher who have supported our dreams and made our time in school that much brighter.  Indeed many teachers have changed the course of many a student’s life, boosted their confidence and self-esteem and walked them through a difficult stage of their lives. 

The TK PSG committee was given the privilege to express our gratitude to the Management and Staff of TKSS during this extraordinary COVID-19 year – though a small gift bag.  We wanted to convey our gratitude with regards of health and wellness so the team came up with three items – a portable USB fan, a fruit and a snack bar all packed in an unassuming brown bag sealed with our short “Happy Teachers’ Day” sticker.    This is my tenth time packing Teachers’ day presents as a parent.  Each time a different group of parents gather and as we pack, the same conversation will unfold as we exchange fond memories of our own time as a student and the teachers who left an indelible mark at each stage of our growing-up years.  I find myself thanking silently in my heart - all the teachers who have encouraged me, guided me and how I have lost contact with them in a time not so long ago when mobile phones did not exist. 

It is a simple sentence – Happy Teachers’ Day – it culminates many grateful thoughts as a student as a parent and maybe later in life as a grandparent.    

It is a simple brown bag – it culminates the gratitude and regards from all TK parents to all the Management and Staff of TKSS who spend more time with our children and who have tirelessly helped chisel, mold and shape our children’s lives for the better.

Thank you from all of us at TKSS.
